British Gas dual fuel to 2 separate accounts
I’ve just had a mad online chat with a British Gas advisor
about changing tariff. It would be easy, I thought, to change to the EV tariff
through the dual fuel deal we have. Not so, apparently as my GAS would go up,
by 30% on the standing charge, and nearly 9% on the unit rate. So I contacted
them by chat. In essence I’d…

Economy 7 or Single Rate?
I'm really just hoping for some confirmation that my workings are correct. We're currently on Economy 7. Our day / night usage is roughly 50/50, 4700kWh day & 4700kWh night per year. The best Economy 7 rates I can find are Sainsburys Energy, 29.05p Day & 11.78p Night. As my usage is 50/50 I added them together and divided…

Snug Octopus (Economy 7) Problems
Has anyone else here switched to Octopus Snug and having timing problems? Apparently the smart signal can take a while to switch between peak/off peak. Our switching is happening 10 minutes later than expected. This means we benefit from 50 minutes of off peak electricity, then the last 10 minutes of charging falls into…
